2011 MTV Movie Awards: The Balmain Women

I am not a major fan of the MTV Movie Awards, especially when it comes to the fashion aspect. There are never all that many pieces that excite and please the eyes, but however, there are certain stars who manage to bring it to the table anyway. Three of them were all wearing Balmain; Leighton Meester, Kristen Stewart amd Mila Kunis. Leighton Meester wore a shiny, silver gown from Balmain's A/W 2011 collection, which made her shine like the true style star that she is. This dress was one of my favourite pieces from the collection, and I am so glad to see Leighton wearing it.

I rarely post photos of Kristen Stewart as I don't like her style all that much. Sometimes, however, she appears at events in some great pieces, such as this red, leather Balmain dress. I would have chosen some different shoes to wear with it though. Those black pumps are too plain for such a dress. Also, I'd like to see some more bold jewelry together with the dress - maybe a statement bracelet.

One of my favourites last night was Mila Kunis. She wore a skirt and top from Balmain's A/W 2011 collection. I love that she chose to go for this look as it is the perfect balance between formal and relaxed. I have been loving Mila's style choices lately (see the post below), and I hope that we see a lot more style choices like these, and even more style risks as she can definitely carry bold and daring pieces.

Later today, I will post another favourite outfit from this event. Can you guess who? And who was your favourite at the MTV Movie Awards?

The Golden Globes: The Fantastic Four

There were a lot of beautiful dresses seen on the red carpet last night at the Golden Globes. The celebrities (or their stylists to be correct!) really stepped it up. I have narrowed my favourites down to a number of four. I often like a lot of sparkle and glamour when it comes to these events (as seen on Angelina Jolie in a green Versace gown and Anne Hathaway in Armani Privé A/W 2010), so it surprised me that my absolute favourite look of the night is the nude Calvin Klein dress worn by Emma Stone. Her simplistic look, with such a clean-cut dress and only a few accessories proves the saying that "less is more". And what I love most about the dress is how well it goes to her blonde hair and her skin tone. Also, I am so happy to see Leighton Meester in Burberry (from the pre-fall 2011 collection). She is the perfect Burberry girl in my opinion (except she isn't British...tiny detail).

Who's dress of the night was your favourite?

4. Leighton Meester in Burberry

Leighton Meester in Marchesa S/S 2011

Last night, Leighton Meester attended the Court of Jewels Recreation launch at the Harry Winston store in New York. She wore a black, lace romper from the Marchesa S/S 2011 collection together with heels by Nicholas Kirkwood and, of course, some dazzling Harry Winston jewelry.

I know that there might be split opinions about this outfit, as there always is when someone makes a bold fashion statement (but that's just the risk one has to take!). I mentioned in the latest "The 10 Best Dressed of the Week" that I have a very love/hate relationship when it comes to Leighton's outfits, but lately she has been wowing me with her great pieces, one after the other. And this is definitely one of my favourite Leighton-outfits ever. The top-half of the romper is especially nice, and I love how she wears it with her hair loosely up and with that purple lipstick. Very femme fatale.

What do you think of Leighton's outfit?

The 10 Best Dressed of the Week

First of all, let me apologize for the very poor blogging this last week. The hectic exam period is kicking in, and therefore Style Spot had to suffer a bit. I felt really bad not posting "The 10 Best Dressed of the Week" yesterday, so here it is today. The week's best dressed consists of lovely ladies in gorgeous dresses - many in bold splashes of colour and many in chic black. I am starting to look for inspiration for the Christmas parties that are just around the corner. Maybe you are too, and hopefully some of these can inspire you. Enjoy!

10. Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow looked beautiful in this Chado Ralph Rucci dress. I love the combination of the shiny black material and the see-through parts. Very sexy in a mature way, and Gwyneth carries it with such style and grace. There have been some disagreements when it comes to Lanvin heels, but I must say that I like them together with this dress.

9. Joanna Gracia

I love a dark purple dress on a brunette. There's something about that combination that makes you notice it straight away. It oozes such elegance. I like that Joanna wore silver accessories with it, as many opt for gold accessories with purple dresses. It makes a nice change.

8. Leighton Meester

I must admit that most of the time I do prefer Blake Lively's style over Leighton Meester's style. With Blake there's rarely an outfit that I dislike, but when it comes to Leighton I have more of a love/hate relationship with her fashion choices. When it comes to this dress by Pucci, however, Leighton gets ten points from me. She looks stunning and very bohemian chic in it.

7. Lauren Conrad

I love it when Lauren Conrad gets on the red carpet as I absolutely adore her. What I love even more is that this pale blue dress is from TopShop. It's music to my ears, though it's probably ripped away from the hangers already. Lauren really suits this old Hollywood glamour style, and here's hoping to seeing more of her like this.

6. Rachel Bilson

I find this dress from the Chanel Resort collection so refreshing, and especially when Rachel Bilson is the one wearing it. It's got her name written all over her. Also, I like that she has teamed it with those heels. It would have been so easy to wear it together with black, patent heels or something similar.



5. Olivia Palermo

At first, I didn't think much of this outfit on Olivia Palermo, but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. She plays with different contrasts when it comes to the materials and also pairs the 20s inspired dress with a more modern leopard belt. And there's nothing I love more than people playing around with contrasts when it comes to style.

4. Malin Akermann

I often find that simplicity is the best way to go, and therefore I really fell in love with Malin Akermann's outfit this week. The cream dress suits her body so well, and I adore how she has teamed it together with relaxed silver and brown accessories. Her hair is lovely for this outfit too.

3. Emma Watson

I can't say that I have been an eager follower of all the Harry Potter festivities that have taken place this week, but I most certainly noticed Emma Watson's Rafael Lopez dress that she wore at the London premiere for the 7th Harry Potter film. It's incredible. I have always loved her short hair, and I believe that this gives her such a stronger look. This is why she pulls this off so perfectly.

2. Eva Mendes

As you may have expected, Eva is on the list this week as well. I just can't helping posting her outfits as she always looks stunning. This week she wore this gorgeous and fresh Prada dress together with sexy. patent heels. I absolutely adore the colours. It makes me long for spring and summer.

1. Rihanna

I just had to give Rihanna the first place as I am head over heels in love with this incredible piece designed by Elie Saab. There aren't many words that can express my adoration for this dress, so I'll just let it speak for itself. Gorgeous!

Gwyneth and Leighton

Last night, the premiere for the movie "Country Strong"was held in Nashville, and Gwyneth Paltrow and Leighton Meester attended as they both have leading roles. And may I add that they both showed up in style. They sported two very different looks, but they both looked stunning, each in their own way.  Gwyneth wore a black, classic dress with a sexy twist to it from the Chado Ralph Rucci S/S 2011 collection together with edgy heels from the Lanvin S/S 2011 collection. By wearing this dress she showed that she is a mature woman, but that she still has fun with fashion.

Leighton opted for a younger and more playful option by wearing this dress from the Marc Jacobs S/S 2011 collection. Leighton is known for her fresh choices when it comes to fashion so it is no surprise to see her in this unique dress. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I especially love the gold dress which is underneath together with the black on the top-half of the dress.

Who wore the best dress?
	Gwyneth
	Leighton
